I'm not commuting in the car anymore,so i figured 5k a year of fun miles was reasonable.

Might go over that, but we'll see how it goes.

I know what you mean - I think Neil was in a comma or something for at least ten years and hasn't realised
FFS He looks older than me

Must be from all the big G forces his body goes through with that set up and the sticky tyres

. A bet he looked 19 till he done his first Kh, about 80 track days later.... look at the result!

. Just wait till you see what happens to him when he fits a honda, he'll prob need to pin his face back with safety pins.
All newbies to trackdays be warned, sticky tyres and high g cornering stretches your face and makes you look 40
(all in the good name of fun big fella, get up here and defend yourself!!)

He's probably too busy trying to find a Civic type R parked in a badly lit street, so he can get his spanner set out....

That's the reason he's called 4mm.
Or so I'm led to believe
